Part of the beauty of FlexBuilder is that it’s built on the Eclipse SDK, one of the most versatile and powerful IDEs available, which is not only free and open source, but boasts a wealth of third party plug-ins for every kind of (mostly Java) development.

I guess I just assumed that you couldn't install plug-ins on the standalone version. Can you tell us more about how that one works? Jordi,

However I just wanted to point out that to use Subclipse on Flex2, you should use the following update site as the newest one is not compatible : http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x Besides I'm not sure why you are saying that the plugin version of Flex is required -or more rewarding to quote- to work with plugins. I didn't try many plugins with my standalone Flex installation, but until now I didn't have any problems. Did you run into some issues that led you to that conclusion ?

Originally, my base Eclipse install was the all in one package of PDT and Eclipse from Zend (since the plugin of PDT can be very complex to install) - http://www.zend.com/en/community/pdt. I then installed the Aptana plugin and became hooked on the AJAX support. After a few releases, they added PHP support and I slowly started playing with that. After a while I got hooked on it and just uninstalled PDT completely (well to be honest I uninstalled Eclipse completely and then installed the base Eclipse and reinstalled Aptana). Either way, I haven't run into any issues with Aptana. But I don't have the Flex Builder plugin installed with it (I use the standalone and switch back and forth), so maybe that might be causing some conflict. Another quick plus of Aptana is AIR support and iPhone Development support. PS: I actually choose the base Eclipse IDE for Java Developers instead of Classic. From what I understand the only difference is that the Classic does not contain Mylyn or an XML editor. I have to agree with Roger, Aptana really is great.
